The Minister in Lebanon (Pinkerton) to the Secretary of State
135. ReDepcirtel April 3, 1 a. m. Boisanger told me he had talked with President Khoury and with acting Foreign Minister re PCC proposals and is convinced Lebanon desires cooperate but can do nothing unless initiative is taken by some other Arab state preferably Egypt. His opinion agrees with mine after informal talk with acting Foreign Minister that all Arab states will act together on proposals re Israel particularly now following Arab League meeting. He stated that any pressure exerted should be directed toward Egypt which holds key to situation and that effort elsewhere would only result in irritation.
Boisanger left for Jerusalem where he expects to see Ben-Gurion immediately upon arrival.
